Triumph Trident T160c, 1975. The Minta. With fewer than 1,200 genuine miles on the clock and 100% factory correct, this has to be one of the cleanest Tridents available in Australasia. Returning to Triumph's signature design lines, the T160c added the aggressive sloping cylinder line in the last year of Triumph production. Produced in one of Triumph's more troublesome years, the T160c was overshadowed by the newly elected British Industry Minister Eric Varley's recall of a loan of four million pounds in July 1975 and the subsequent refusal to renew Norton-Villiers-Triumph company's export credits. These events threw Triumph into receivership and caused mass redundancies. The example offered here is thought to be one of the last 1,000 machines produced during this rather dark slice of English industrial history. The T160c is a timely reminder that bad decisions are made through good and bad economic cycles. The quality and sophistication of the T160c has out lived both Mr Varley's controversial decision to pull the rug out from under the British motorcycle industry and the big bike trends of the time. It is no wonder Triumph having risen from the ashes returned to the philosophy of the triple for the contemporary rider.
